@PinkSapphire:
While this is okay, do keep this in mind:
Raven's backstory, as you may or may not find out, deals with her being the most powerful, deadly mutant ever created. What makes her not over-powered is her lack of control over it; literally, even if/when we hit that point in our story when everyone is unlocking their powers, Raven will still be very difficult to control. At maximum control, her attacks have about a 30% chance of backfire. Right now, She has about 10% success, 90% backfire. Your character has control over her powers, if she could do what Raven could do, it would probably be over-powered; not to mention, it destroys my Raven character's story. Make sense?
You can make her explode, as long as it isn't quite like Raven's.
To be realistic, her explosion could be about 30% of what Raven's was; however, if she used all of that power, it'd probably take all of her power to do so, and she'd be left weak and exhausted. Raven hadn't even used all of her power; if she did, she probably could wipe out an entire town. Of course, for that to happen, you'd have to make her more furious than most people could even reach. Her explosion was about a quarter of the football field, because she was angry at the scarers for trying to pin her.
Little known fact: Raven is VERY claustrophobic. DO NOT corner her, pin her, or crowd around her (like you all keep doing)
Anyways, sorry for the rant. Hope you all learned something about Raven today.
I'm eagerly awaiting a Jamie post, so I can keep going.
